A theoretical perspective (engagement in reading) frames the book and provides a ...

Two-Way Split

Allan Guthrie

PointBlank, 2006

Extremely promising young noir author
Allan Guthire's Blithe Pyschopaths, renamed Two Way Split, is a tremendous debut effort. This is hard boiled noir, and not for those of tender sensibilities. The Edinburgh winter in which the novel takes place is as stark as the tightly constructed plot. The ...

Kill Clock (Most Wanted)

Allan Guthrie

Barrington Stoke Ltd, 2007

Fast and furious
I started my copy of Kill Clock the morning after I received it in the mail and read it from cover to cover in 45 minutes! This is one hot little Scotch bonnet of a novella: short, sharp, and shocking. (Though maybe not as shocking as that scene in Hard Man.) All ...

Kiss Her Goodbye (Hard Case Crime)

Allan Guthrie

Hard Crime Case, 2005

3 - 3 and 1/2 stars
If you can get thru the first half-dozen chapters (or so) of the author calling every other character and/or street character the same name (starts with T, has a W, and ends with T) then you'll be pleasantly surprised with the double murder mystery that develops over ...

Savage Night

Allan Guthrie

Harcourt, 2008

Quentin Tarantino Needs To Read This
I cant believe there are no reviews yet for this great book. If you like the Pulp Fiction type of story you will love this. This is the first book I have read by this author and I was blown away. Love the way he goes back and forth from the night in question. Written ...

Hard Man

Allan Guthrie

Harcourt, 2007

Unforgettable crime thriller
HARD MAN is about as good as modern crime novels get. It's got twists, shocks, blood, and plenty of anti-heroes for you to root for, curse at, and generally become enthralled with. This is a frantic, fast-paced, cynical, hardcore story that combines a lean, powerful ...
